As most of you who read my blog posts, know I love to cook and create some special meals. Well a while back Ray Henson wrote a post about Preserved Lemons.
I immediately sent him the above picture in a comment. Yes, I do make preserved lemons. Now with that said I wanted to do something extra special. Last couple days I have been thinking about making infused lemon pasta. Not your average pasta, but still simple.
The recipe is quite simple:
1. Boil Cold Water to make the pasta but add three or four quarters of preserved lemon into the water and some salt that you would normally do for boiling pasta.
2. Once the water is boiling add the pasta of your choice and boil it al dente.
3. In the meantime in a large pan, add extra virgin olive oil, two minced garlic or three. Handful of chopped Italian Parsley shrimp of choice about 9-12 peace's, mine happened to be frozen shrimp from Trader Joe's and a little unsalted butter.
4. Sautee for about 9-10 minutes while the pasta is boiling. Then add some chicken or vegetable stock about a cup or two.
5. Add about a cup of heavy cream once blended add the pasta and combine for about a minute or two to get the sauce blended with the pasta.
6. Once done serve immediately with black pepper and shredded Reggiano Parmesan cheese to your liking.
Now if you do not have preserved lemons throw in some fresh lemons into the water cut them up into about six or eight portions. Then in addition do the same with another lemon as you sauté the shrimp. The flavor will not be as pronounced but still will be fine. Bon Appetit!!!
